Stonewood, WV

Stonewood is a quiet Harrison County community of about 1,800 residents tucked along Elk Creek. The town got its name back in 1947, when local schoolchildren won a contest by blending two older neighborhoods, Stonewall Park and Norwood. Today, it serves as a convenient home base right between Clarksburg and Bridgeport. You get an easy commute to major employers, shopping centers, and regional hospitals while enjoying a peaceful residential neighborhood with its own city services.

That sense of independence carries over into everyday life, where a strong community spirit still defines the town. Residents gather throughout the year for local traditions like the annual Firefighter’s Festival, seasonal parades, and neighborhood park events. It is a down-to-earth, welcoming place that offers comfortable small-town living alongside quick access to North Central West Virginia's busiest commercial corridors.
